Great Expectations

Expectations can kill.

They make or break a person. I mean if you never expect anything out of yourself, who's to say you couldn't have been some sort of rocket scientist. But expectations coming from others? WTF mate...WTF.

Seriously though. We all say "you don't know me at all", then why the heck do you think that you know everything about someone else. As long as it's not me, right?. It's always someone else's problem. I guess it's another form of NIMBY [not in my back yard].


I guess since I started off negative, why not end that way as well.

I do not understand why people sit there and complain without doing anything about it. Can you explain that to me? It's like sitting in a cold room with the door open while it's snowing out, and going.... "it's so f-f-f-reaking c-c-cold". Get your butt up and close the door! Is it that hard?

Sometimes it's like I do all this work for nothing. Just today, someone was like...oh man you gotta take a class for ASB? I didn't know you needed to take a class to learn how to make signs. Yeah it was funny but, sorry. Do you know how much stuff would never happen if there was no ASB?? You like dances right?? Who do you think runs them? You like Link Crew right?? Who runs that? You buy stuff at the student store right? Yeah ASB runs that too, and no they don't get paid like the kids in the cafeteria. But they do it anyway.

I told this kid I was a philanthropist. And I guess I am, but sometimes I sit back and ask myself why the heck am I doing this? No one even cares. It's like I'd rather not try to do anything instead of making an effort to, and then getting criticized. If you don't like the way things are done, stand up for yourself and speak up. Change it yourself.

And this isn't even about ASB. It's just about me trying to do stuff on campus, and trying to give people opportunities to do new things, and learn new things. I mean isn't that what life's about? Oh. No. I'm sorry. It's about partying, drinking, making an ass out of yourself. Because we're young right? We don't have to act like adults right? We practically have all the rights that adults do, but no responsibility attached. How great is that? Unfortunately life isn't some game where you can just press "reset". I'm not saying don't have fun, it's just, be responsible.

Sorry I guess this was a rant and an afterschool program rolled into one. Hope I didn't offend anyone, just my opinions and thoughts. Doesn't mean much.
